#245 of 777 confused by ncct Jan 30, 2006 (7:16 am)
I am considering two wagons. 2.5 limited and 2.5 special edition. I want to have fog lights and heated seats. They are available as an option and as an after market item at a total cost of $900-950 on the special edition This makes the cost difference between the two wagons a little over $900. I have heard so many bad things about the automatic AC do I really want to spend the extra money and get leather seats and AC that has problems? Any suggestions. Thanks. allan Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jan 30, 2006 9:02 am) bigring (Feb 05, 2006 10:32 am)

Replying to: ncct (Jan 30, 2006 7:16 am) I rely a lot on the aftermarket, personally. I installed a lot of things after the purchase - cruise, 6CD changer, moonroof, trailer hitch, etc. No problems here, and the cost is often less.   Be aware that you might not get it all back at resale, but if you keep it a long time that should not matter much.   -juice
#247 of 777 New Legacy GT owner - howdy by eperramond Feb 02, 2006 (4:31 pm)
Hey all, After a long hiatus from Subaru-land, I am back, after trading in an 04 Mazda3s with the automatic. Juice, I've seen your opinions on the 2.3/w/auto, that was apparently binned out from Ford: what a horrible experience. We got stranded (nearly bucked of I-25) in Castle Rock, between Denver and C. Springs a few weeks back. That in a car with less than 13000 miles on it! Egads. So it's back to a good, trusty Subaru - a 2006 Red Legacy GT with about $1k in options, out the door for $26,700.00 - not bad, considering the performance. And yes, it's a slushbox, but given my urban commute, worth it. Cheers and howdy to all. - Perrito Replies to this message: ateixeira (Feb 03, 2006 9:06 am)

Replying to: eperramond (Feb 02, 2006 4:31 pm) Congrats, sounds nice.   Our next car might be a slushbox; right now we have 3 manuals.   -juice
#249 of 777 Subaru Legacy Sedan 2006 2.5i SE - VIN problems by subi2006 Feb 04, 2006 (1:06 pm)
I bought Silver Legacy Sedan 2006 2.5i Special Edition for 20270 + 125 paperwork fee on Dec 31. Great car, the only problem that got me in trouble is the VIN number. The first 7 chars - 4S3BL62 are the same for both Special Edition and Limited (both dealership and SOA confirmed that). Limited is fully loaded and costs $3300 more. Both my insurance company and DMV registered my car as Limited and happily charged me more in premiums. Paperwork from the dealership stating the model as SE is not taken into account. I actually tried to argue my case at DMV, and got an official letter from them stating that I own a Limited. Backed up with paperwork they got from one of the VIN lookup shops. According to which Subaru only makes 2.5i (4S3BL61) and Limited (4S3BL62). SE does not exist. Checked all online VIN lookups like Carfax, etc - my car comes up as Limited everywhere, so I guess it's across board. Does anyone else get into the same kind of trouble?

Replying to: ncct (Jan 30, 2006 7:16 am) I faced a similar question when I bought my '05 2.5i Limited wagon (SE was not available for '05s). I definitely wanted heated seats and the moonroof, but didn't care for leather or the climate control. I like my choice. The CC is weird, but I've got used to it. Love the huge moonroof, and use the heated seats every day. Winter has so mild I can't comment on the heated mirrors and the wiper de-icer, but I live in metro Washington, DC, so they never would have got that much play. The one thing I hate is the stereo: it sounds great, but I'd take external (mp3) input any day over a six-disc changer. Given the option of SE + heated seats vs. Limited, the stereo would be the deal breaker than made me pick the SE.

Replying to: subi2006 (Feb 04, 2006 1:06 pm) On the insurance side, why not ask your dealer for a letter clarifying the model? I've never had anyone with this problem. The complaints I get is the Outback being listed as a Legacy.
#252 of 777 SE Registration by ateixeira Feb 06, 2006 (9:27 am)
All I can think of is that the moonroof makes it structurally more similar to the Limited model. The leather is cosmetic, but the moonroof is not.   So they see it more as a decontented Limited, vs. a dressed up base model.   -juice

Replying to: subi2006 (Feb 04, 2006 1:06 pm) Deja Vue? Same thing happened to me. Insurance coverage is for a LTD when i have a SE. My VIN is 4S3BP62 for a 2006 2.5i SE wagon i bought Dec 05. The same happens when you try to look for a SE on line for sale, all you see is LTD's at dealers. I'm going to check again with my insurance company and take raybears advice. Your the icebreaker on this one. Good catch. Alot of SE's have been sold so this is going to be a common problem, especially come accident time with the insurance companies. Keep us posted on your remedy; good hunting!
